She's Really An Angel

Lin Scanland
Her husband teased that she's too clumsy to have wings in heaven so he bought her a pretty pink pair to wear. She looked divine in them for Halloween, but Lin Scanland really is an angel.

Because of her outstanding service to TOPS WA 1147 Graham, the group voted her the Chapter Angel of the year. She was awarded the honor at the recent TOPS Fall Rally in Puyallup. 

According to her fellow TOPS members, Lin goes above and beyond what is required of her. Here are some of the items she is credited with helping her earn her Angel wings.
  • She drives 42 miles from her home in Ashford to Graham each Monday and 42 back home, to lead and inspire TOPS.
  • She is always there and always very early.
  • She keeps many files for TOPS and KOPS on her home computer.
  • She sends out a weekly email agenda to Co-Leader and officers.
  • She is on the phone committee for TOPS and takes her duty seriously.
  • She plans the KOPS Anniversary ceremony for TOPS WA 1147, Graham.
  • She makes up the yearly Award Certificates as well as Chapter Helper certificates.
  • She fills in for the treasurer and secretary when needed.
  • She places publicity in newspapers and on Craig's List. 
  • She's a genuine friend to all, ready to give a helping hand or lend an ear to one's problems.
Lin has also been a 7 year member of the Pierce County KOPS Lighter Way Honor Society.
